Bulldogs Consistently Rank Among Top 10 in Region

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Bulldogs have been
consistently ranked in the top 10 for the Northeast region by the
U.S. Cross Country and Track & Field Cross Country Association
(USTFCCA). They currently rank seventh for the week of Oct. 18.

The Bulldogs have received a top 10 regional ranking in every
weekly poll this season. They have not dipped below eighth and have
been ranked as high as sixth in the region for the Oct. 4
rankings.

Iona currently ranks first in the Northeast region. Only three
Ivy League schools rank above Yale in the regional polls: Dartmouth
(third), Columbia (fourth), and Cornell (sixth). Harvard ranks
below at eighth, while Brown ranks 12th. In the
Mid-Atlantic region, Princeton ranks first, and Penn ranks
sixth.

The Bulldogs have had an impressive season so far after opening
with a second-place finish at the Dartmouth Invitational and
reclaiming the Harvard-Yale title. They have also proved their
competitiveness at the national level with a 16th place
finish at the New England Championships and an eighth-place finish
at last week's Penn State National.

The Bulldogs will enter post-season at the Heptagonals
Championships on Oct. 29 at Van Cortland Park in the Bronx,
N.Y.
